Especially accredited metrology services providers are often bound to paper certificates by regulatory constrictions and sometimes lack of IT-infrastructure. This analog form of metrology data transfer, however, implies hands-on work, in particular for the certificate receiver, as its key values need to be translated into the device- and quality management (QM) system, manually. With thousands of certificates transferred from accredited calibration labs until the industrial regime, this binds a significant amount of human resources and is a well-known source of errors, thus constricting cost-effective and secure workflows. This contribution highlights the status of the advancing digital transformation in metrology, on the example of force calibration. Although this appealing initiative is to a large extend driven by German stakeholders, it currently evolves to extend across all Europe and far beyond.

While GSL may be dangerous and time-consuming when performed by humans, swarms of agile and inexpensive nano aerial robots may increase the safety and efficiency of gas source localizations. Since the small payloads of nano aerial robots limit the sensing and computing resources, strategies adapted from biological swarms, such as colonies of social insects, are used to coordinate robot swarms. Most swarm GSL strategies are based on the assumption that the maxima of gas concentrations are sufficiently close to the gas sources. However, prior studies have indicated that the occurrence of “bouts”, a metric for the intermittency of gas distributions, may advantageously be used as a more accurate gas source proximity indicator. This paper presents a swarm GSL strategy employing bouts as source proximity indicators and a bio-inspired pheromone system for communication. Nano aerial robots, deployed in this study, act as agents and emit pheromone markers in an artificial environment upon detecting bouts. Leveraging the concept of artificial potential fields, the agents switch between exploiting the knowledge of the swarm by following pheromone gradients and exploring the search space by targeting a random point. The agents are repelled by each other and by walls to avoid collisions. The swarm GSL strategy is implemented into three nano aerial robots and validated in a real-world experiment in an indoor environment with a single gas source. The results indicate that the the swarm GSL strategy presented in this paper is capable of GSL in indoor environments and that the intermittency of gas distributions is a better source proximity indicator than the mean concentration.

T1 - Toward Robust Robotic Gas Source Localization in Outdoor Environments: Testing Search Algorithms with Real Outdoor Wind Spectrum N2 - This poster reports an improved outdoor gas source localization algorithm, showing promising results under simulations with a realistic gas plume. In the scenario assumed in this work, an unmanned ground vehicle searches for the location of a gas source in an open outdoor field. The simulated gas plume in this work consists of frequent and large meandering as a real outdoor plume. The source location is estimated using gas and wind measurements obtained from sensors fixed on a mobile platform. When a gas puff is detected, its source is likely to be in the upwind direction. Particle filter-based algorithms have been proposed in previous work to estimate the most likely source location from multiple gas detection events. In this work, the particle weight update function has been modified by adopting a 2D Gaussian plume model, to improve the accuracy in estimating the likelihood of the source location. We have evaluated the performance of this algorithm combined with an estimation-based route planning algorithm. The simulator uses wind data recorded outdoors to calculate transport of gas puffs allowing a formation of a gas plume containing large meandering, due to real fluctuations of outdoor wind. Simulations of the improved particle filter with the estimation-based route planning algorithm have yielded more accurate, stable and time-efficient results than the pre-modified version.

This presentation highlights the added value of a digitalised metrology, its impact on the workflows on the calibration service providing and receiving side as well as their significance in enhancing the quality infrastructure. An overview of digital calibration certificates (DCC) for temperature sensors, including their structure and role in establishing trust in hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS), will be discussed. Additionally, it explores the impact of DCC on optimising efficiency in the hydrogen refuelling process. Exploring the paradigm shift brought about by Industry 4.0, where machines possess the ability to autonomously interpret digital certificate data, leads to streamlined safety checks and reduced human intervention. We will discuss how automated verification of machine-readable certificates contributes to maintaining and elevating safety standards over human-readable certificates. Furthermore, we will take a deep dive into the application of DCCs in HRS, showcasing how they enhance operational efficiency, accuracy, and maintenance by enabling real-time monitoring and adjustment of process data. By exploring the interdependent relationship between digital certificates, machine-readable environments, and HRS optimisation, this presentation will provide valuable insights into harnessing cutting-edge technologies to create a safer, more efficient, and technologically empowered hydrogen refuelling process.

Current flux leakage sensor elements are rigid and rely on air gaps to detect stray fields several hundred micrometers above the surface. Furthermore, the increasing complexity of critical components, enabled by novel fabrication technologies, primarily additive manufacturing, poses a significant challenge to the available flux leakage testing technologies. The emergence of flexible magneto-electronics paves the way to a compliant form of magnetic sensors that, on one hand, are able to adapt to highly curved surfaces, allowing these measurements to be conducted on irregularly formed components, which are inaccessible for nowadays electromagnetic NDT equipment and, on the other hand, could enhance the detection limit for small magnetic stray fields, by allowing the magneto-sensitive elements to approximate the object’s surface until only a few µm, mediated by thin and flexible packaging.

T1 - Multi-sensor system for long-term monitoring with WiFi and LoRaWAN technology N2 - In many cases, science falls back on self-developed prototype systems, which are used and developed for the measurement and execution of the tasks. About 80 % of the development is based on the same hardware design, which is used in only one application scenario and then discarded. For the most part, there are also uncalibrated sensors, since it is costly to calibrate a complicated sensor measurement system or the entire measurement chain since access to the sensor systems is not always available. This paper describes a conceptual design to implement a versatile sensor system with the motivation to fuse the data recording and data reception, which can cover large areas with the help of LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) technology. To overcome disadvantages of LoRaWAN, namely the slow data rates, the proposed sensor system can also cover smaller areas with the widespread WiFi technology. An enormous advantage over individual complete systems in the form of a prototype, is the rapid expansion, uncomplicated calibration of the individual sensors and the ecological relief. A modular design is used, where individual stacks with sensors and peripherals can be added separately. The stacks are standalone low-power systems and can be calibrated, maintained, and replaced separately and do not require the entire measurement chain.

T1 - Damage assessment of complete, filled fibreboard boxes in regulative vertical impact tests by dropping N2 - Due to the high damping mechanical properties of fiberboard materials, corrugated fiberboard boxes are widely used as transport packagings of dangerous goods. Since there is risk of vertical impact within the distribution system, drop tests are performed as design type tests to assess a package’s ability to withstand damage. In this context, however, little is known regarding the transient mechanical response of a filled fiberboard box. The reason is that the nature of the packaging material presents challenges in identifying the deformation mechanisms experimentally. The aim of this work is to provide a framework for predicting the damage resistance of complete, filled corrugated fiberboard boxes which are ready for transportation. Therein, drop test finite-element simulations are used and validated by experimental results. These numerical calculation models are a valuable tool for virtual product development and contribute to the optimization of the design cycle.

International adopted regulations like ADR and RID define filling good dependent drop heights and filling degrees whilst the user needs to define the maximum gross mass to be tested and approved. Maximum packaging gross mass is defined conservatively and not reached in practice. To meet the defined gross mass in testing, using additives is permitted. However, in some cases, additives are not desirable due to packaging design or filling substance properties. This leads to deviations from the initial gross mass definition. Hence, a certain drop height adjustment is necessary to achieve the required impact loading. Laboratories frequently adjust drop height assuming a perfectly elastic collision which is inaccurate. Appropriate adjustment is not trivial due to energy conversion processes, e.g., plastic deformation. In this work, a test stand is developed for measuring the change in kinetic energy of different packaging designs and filling substances in regulative drop tests. The experimental results are used to validate finite-element (FE) models so that packaging properties can be varied in simulated drop test scenarios. The findings intend to describe the appropriate drop height adjustment of the respective packaging with same design but deviating gross mass to produce comparable mechanical response. The results are highly beneficial for testing laboratories, approval issuing authorities and packaging institutes confronted with the problem of testing packages with gross masses other than those to be approved.

T1 - Simulating a Gas Source Localization Algorithm with Gas Dispersion Produced by Recorded Outdoor Wind N2 - This presentation reports the use of the first gas dispersion simulator capable of generating large wind fluctuation, to test a modification to a gas source localization algorithm and study how the change affects it. Gas source localization at an outdoor environment is a challenging task mainly due to the complexity of the spreading gas caused by the unpredictable nature of constantly changing wind. Therefore, a novel use of outdoor wind in developing a gas source localization system by simulation will be shared. To consider the characteristic of sudden but large and unpredictable changes in wind direction, recorded outdoor wind was used to simulate a realistic outdoor gas dispersion which has been done for the first time. With the use of this simulator, a modification to a mobile robot-based gas source localization algorithm was evaluated. Multiple simulations of the modified and the original algorithm were done to study the effect of the tested modification. The results showed that a small difference in the algorithm can greatly impact the results. From this study, we consider the use of simulation consisting of the necessary traits to evaluate outdoor gas source localization, has the potential to accelerate the development of a reliable localization system.

To consider the characteristic of sudden but large and unpredictable changes in wind direction, we propose to use recorded outdoor wind to simulate a realistic outdoor gas dispersion which has been done for the first time to the best of our knowledge. With the use of this simulator, we have tested a modification to a mobile robot-based gas source localization algorithm. Multiple simulations of the modified and the original particle filter-based algorithm have been done to study the effect of the tested modification. The results showed that a small difference in the algorithm can greatly impact the results. From this study, we show that the use of simulation consisting of the necessary traits to evaluate outdoor gas source localization, has the potential to accelerate the development of a reliable localization system.

T1 - Mobile Applications with Drones/Robots - Aerial- and Ground-based Gas Tomography N2 - Remote gas sensors mounted on mobile robots enable the mapping of gas distributions in large or poorly accessible areas. A challenging task however, is the generation of three-dimensional distribution maps from these spatially sparse gas measurements. To obtain high-quality reconstructions, the choice of optimal measuring poses is of great importance. Remote gas sensors, that are commonly used in Robot Assisted Gas Tomography (RAGT), require reflecting surfaces within the sensor’s range, limiting the possible sensing geometries, regardless of whether the robots are ground-based or airborne. By combining ground and aerial robots into a heterogeneous swarm whose agents are equipped with reflectors and remote gas sensors, remote inter-robot gas measurements become available, taking RAGT to the next dimension – releasing those constraints. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of drone-to-drone measurements under realistic conditions and highlight the resulting opportunities.

T1 - Drop Test Simulation of Packaging for Dangerous Goods: An Investigation of Appropriate Drop Height Adjustment in Case of Deviating Packaging Gross Mass N2 - In the approval process of dangerous goods packagings, drop tests onto a flat, essentially unyielding surface are used to assess resistance against mechanical damage. International adopted regulations like ADR and RID define filling good dependent drop heights and filling degrees whilst the user needs to define the maximum gross mass to be tested and approved. Maximum packaging gross mass is defined conservatively and not reached in practice. To meet the defined gross mass in testing, using additives is permitted. However, in some cases, additives are not desirable due to packaging design or filling substance properties. This leads to deviations from the initial gross mass definition. Hence, a certain drop height adjustment is necessary to achieve the required impact loading. Laboratories frequently adjust drop height assuming a perfectly elastic collision that is inaccurate. Appropriate adjustment is not trivial due to energy conversion processes, for example, plastic deformation.

However, this can only be achieved, if the metrological data from the calibration service is provided in a machine-readable and machine-interpretable format. With the provision of an XML-schema for digital calibration certificates (DCCs), PTB has defined a comprehensive frame for machine-readable reports that is applicable to calibrations of arbitrary quantities and methods. In order to increase the interoperability of DCCs, further harmonization needs to be established, especially within the communities of specific measurement quantities. This allows for a straight-forward automation in the processing of DCCs independent from the issuing laboratory. Recently, the German Calibration Service (DKD) has started to compile quantity-specific as well as overarching good practice definitions for DCCs in its various technical committees. The committee for temperature and humidity quantities set the focus on good practice for calibrations according to its guidelines DKD-R 5-1 for resistance thermometers (e.g. Pt100) and DKD-R 5-8 for hygrometers for the direct measurement of relative humidity, first. Here, for several specific expressions, e.g. the used temperature scales (e.g. ITS-90 vs. thermodynamic temperature), the impact of hysteresis and self-heating or the calibration medium used, related XML code implementations are defined and tested. Another important aspect to achieve machine-interpretability of information in a DCC are refType definitions. RefTypes are key semantic providing attributes that are used in the XML code if no unique structure is available in the DCC scheme for a particular information that should still be associated with a specific meaning. Hence, they represent “bookmarks” for the algorithms interpreting good practice DCCs and therefore it is vital that they have a fixed wording. For the case of temperature and humidity calibrations, several refType denotations together with their meanings and allowed locations in the DCC-schema were defined, respectively. These refType definitions will be available in an online refType repository that is hosted by the DKD and can be incorporated into good practice DCCs for validation. The good practice definitions for temperature and humidity DCCs introduced in this contribution will be thoroughly described and published in an open access DKD expert report that is also equipped with validated DCC templates for most common calibration items and procedures. Since most of the added values of an automated metrological traceability are provided on the receiving side of DCCs, specific use cases are currently acquired for temperature and humidity calibrations, respectively. These pilot applications are especially intended to demonstrate the potential of DCC utilization for the industrial metrology and quality management.

Hence, all necessary information according to ISO/IEC 17025 and the DKD-R 5-1 calibration rule is provided in a machine-readable and machine-interpretable form. Furthermore, we actively participate in the definition of general and community-specific good practice requirements for the DCC of temperature quantities as technical specifications, hosted by the German Calibration Service (DKD). In this contribution the entire XML source code of a DCC from a Pt 100 thermometer calibration will be exposed and discussed. The DCC was automatically generated using a self-implemented middleware that is compiling the metadata (i.e. customer-, order-, item- and method data) and combines it with the measured calibration data and influence conditions into a process- and lab-specific DCC template. Since it was issued as an accredited calibration certificate, the validated and authorized DCC is also equipped with the novel digital accreditation symbol to form an `eAttestation´. This advanced electronic seal with a qualified certificate was recently piloted with the German national accreditation body (DAkkS), and, after successful validation by the receiver, verifies the active accreditation status of the issuing body at the time of sealing (authorization). As it also provides all other functionalities of an electronic seal, (i.e. data integrity and authenticity), it can fully replace a digital signature on accredited DCCs. The presented temperature DCC architecture fully complies to the latest good practice definitions of the DKD and thus represents a level 4 DCC according to the utility model for machine interpretability of DCCs. This also includes basic and quantity-specific refType definitions that are linked to an online refType repository to harmonize these key semantic providing elements across other DCC-issuing laboratories. The paper and also its conference poster will not represent a general introduction and motivation for the DCC itself. It rather addresses more detailed aspects of good practice, especially for DCCs from temperature quantity calibrations and may stimulate in-depth discussions between DCC experts from the providing, utilizing and accrediting points of view. The work was performed within the national QI-Digital initiative of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.

The software automatically processes incoming DCCs, to provide metrological traceability and a quality-assured process conformity assessment, practically at the push of a button.

T1 - Bayesian model calibration and damage detection for a digital twin of a bridge demonstrator N2 - Using digital twins for decision making is a very promising concept which combines simulation models with corresponding experimental sensor data in order to support maintenance decisions or to investigate the reliability. The quality of the prognosis strongly depends on both the data quality and the quality of the digital twin. The latter comprises both the modeling assumptions as well as the correct parameters of these models. This article discusses the challenges when applying this concept to realmeasurement data for a demonstrator bridge in the lab, including the data management, the iterative development of the simulation model as well as the identification/updating procedure using Bayesian inference with a potentially large number of parameters. The investigated scenarios include both the iterative identification of the structural model parameters as well as scenarios related to a damage identification. In addition, the article aims at providing all models and data in a reproducibleway such that other researcher can use this setup to validate their methodologies.

In the past, many bridges and road structures have been neglected, often resulting in traffic congestion, road closure, and increased repair costs. This research is concerned with the development of a system to improve the challenge of maintenance and early detection of damage, particularly moisture penetration and corrosion of steel reinforced concrete components. The objective is to develop a method that will also work after 30 years and longer. Many new IoT solutions are equipped with internal energy storage elements (accumulators or batteries) which are inappropriate here, since most relevant signs of concrete degradation occur after decades, where the functioning of such elements are more than questionable. The presented technology approach uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) and enables connectivity to sensors. It offers the advantage of an passive, completely independent energy supply without any energy storage components. Since the system should be permanently embedded in concrete, it is crucial to develop a long-term stable device which is adapted to the environmental influences of the structure, e.g., long-term resistance in very alkaline environment of pH 13. In numerous experiments, the robustness of the system was tested and evaluated. Various tests with encapsulations to protect the electronics were performed, and for long-term validation different concrete specimens were instrumented with RFID-sensor-systems. Their operating time is now around two years and investigations for signs of fatigue and damage to the encapsulation and the electronics are ongoing.

Their strength related failure modes at maximum loading can be divided into bending and shear failure. The failure of beams loaded in bending can occur with or without indication. Therefore, conventional design concepts aim on failure modes with sufficient indication (e.g. large deflections or cracks), as it occurs in the case of secondary flexural compression failure. These indicating factors can also be used for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of civil infrastructure systems (e.g. bridges) to identify structural changes. In this context, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods offer different techniques for measuring deflections or crack formation and opening. However, profound knowledge on the determining failure modes of bending beams and their detection by NDT methods is required for the reliable application of SHM. Different NDT methods have been used in this study for analysing the load-bearing behaviour of a reinforced concrete beam in bending. The different measuring techniques are briefly described and their applicability is discussed by means of experimental results. For this purpose, the load-bearing behaviour of a reinforced concrete beam having a span of 2.75 m was investigated in a four-point bending flexural test at laboratory scale. The focus is on the characterization of determining failure modes by optical NDT and the comparison with classical measuring techniques (e.g. deformation measurements by displacement transducers). The bending beam was equipped with two single-mode (SM) sensor fibres. One fibre served as Distributed Optical Fibre Sensor (DOFS), whereas the other fibre contained Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors. In addition, optical deformation measurements using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and Stereophotogrammetry (SP) were conducted.

With the advent of wireless technologies and advancements in information and communication technologies, civil infrastructure has been increasingly instrumented with wireless sensor nodes to record, analyze, and communicate data relevant to SHM. A promising method for SHM is to embed sensors directly into concrete for recording SHM data from inside structural elements. In this paper, a sensor system for embedment into concrete is proposed, able to assess SHM data recorded from concrete. Power is supplied to the sensors on-demand by quadruped robots, which also collect the SHM data via radio-frequency identification (RFID), providing an automated and efficient SHM process. In laboratory experiments, the capability of the sensor system of automatically collecting the SHM data using quadruped robots is validated. In summary, the integration of RFID technology and robot-based inspection presented in this study demonstrates a vital approach to evolve current SHM practices towards more digitalized and automated SHM.

In this direction, structural health monitoring (SHM) has been increasingly employed, providing insight into the structural behavior, based on sensor data representing structural responses. This paper investigates the plausibility of embedding sensors into concrete structures for SHM, leveraging radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, in an attempt to enable the passive operation of sensors without continuous power supply and to reduce potential sources of interference. In contrast to conventional SHM sensors, the uninterrupted operation of embedded sensors must be ensured because post-installation interventions are either impractical or impossible. RFID technology enables wireless data acquisition and energy transmission without mechanical impact on civil engineering structures, although it may be challenging when RFID sensors are embedded in concrete. This study presents a durable passive embedded RFID sensor system (i.e., a system without batteries), including the selection of components, such as housing and cable materials, suitable for withstanding the aggressive environment of concrete without damaging the sensitive electronics or contaminating the data recorded by the sensors. The proposed sensor system is validated in laboratory tests, the results of which provide insights into the influence of each component and are intended to advance the implementation of embedded sensor systems.

In contrast to conventional SHM sensors, the uninterrupted operation of embedded sensors must be ensured because post-installation interventions are either impractical or impossible. RFID technology enables wireless data acquisition and energy transmission without mechanical impact on civil engineering structures, although it may be challenging when RFID sensors are embedded in concrete. This study presents a durable passive embedded RFID sensor system (i.e., a system without batteries), including the selection of components, such as housing and cable materials, suitable for withstanding the aggressive environment of concrete without damaging the sensitive electronics or contaminating the data recorded by the sensors. The proposed sensor system is validated in laboratory tests, the results of which provide insights into the influence of each component and are intended to advance the implementation of embedded sensor systems.

T1 - Acoustic Emission Analysis And Synchrotron-based Microtomography of glued shear strength samples from spruce wood N2 - To better understanding the failure of adhesive joints tensile tests were carried out on miniature test specimens from Norway spruce in the synchrotron. Urea-formaldehyde resin was used as adhesive. e. For comparison purposes, tensile tests were carried out on solid wood and on bonded miniature tensile shear samples with acoustic emission. The acoustic emission signals of all the experiments occurred with classified pattern recognition. This resulted in two classes of signals for each two frequency peaks. One class consisted of the low-frequency and the other of the higher-frequency peak of higher intensity, but this was essentially independent from the structure (solid wood or plywood) and size scale of the test specimens. The influence of the adhesive layers was determined on wood test specimens on laboratory scale and on miniature test specimens with an adhesive layer and selected fiber orientations. This gave evidence that the sound emission signals from the failure of the adhesive layer presumably of the class with low frequency signals peak in the range of services can be assigned.

T1 - Fibre optic ratiometric fluorescence pH sensor for monitoring corrosion in concrete N2 - In this communication a novel concept for pH sensing is introduced which is specifically adapted to monitor carbonation induced corrosion in concrete structures. The method is based on a ratiometric measurement principle, exploiting the pH sensitive colour switching of thymol blue in the basic pH regime and the emissive properties of two different (Zn)CdSe/ZnS core shell quantum dots. The transition point of thymol blue in a Hydrogel D4 matrix was determined to be at around pH 11.6, which fits ideally to the intended application. Next to the fundamental spectroscopic characterization of the ratiometric response, a new design for a sensor head, suitable for the incorporation into concrete matrices is presented. Toward this, a manufacturing process was developed which includes the preparation of a double layer of polymers containing either thymol blue or a quantum dot mixture inside a porous ceramic tube. Results of a proof-of-priciple performance test of the sensor head in solutions of different pH and in cement specimens are presented, with encouraging results paving the way for future field tests in concrete.

T1 - Untersuchung des Potenzials von Kaltgasspritzen für die Reparatur zyklisch belasteter Bauteile T1 - Investigation on the capability of cold-spray for repair of cyclically loaded components N2 - Die Reparatur mittels Kaltgasspritzen ist eine vielversprechende Alternative zum teuren Austausch fehlerbehafteter Bauteile in der Luft- und Raumfahrt. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde das Potential des Verfahrens an der hochfesten Aluminiumlegierungen Al6061-T6 unter Anwendung von Stickstoff als kostengünstiges Prozessgas untersucht. Es wurden quasi-statische Zugversuche und einachsige Zeitfestigkeitsversuche mit besonderem Fokus auf das in-situ Kugelstrahlen zur Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften durchgeführt. Im Ergebnis wurde die Verbesserung der Adhäsion zwischen Substrat und aufgebautem Werkstoff als entscheidendes Kriterium für eine Anwendbarkeit ermittelt. Die Laserstrukturierung von Substratoberflächen ist hierfür vielversprechend und wurde im Rahmen der Arbeit mittels Adhäsionsversuchen untersucht. N2 - Repair by cold-spray is a promising alternative to the costly replacement of flawed components in aerospace applications. In the present work this process was investigated on the high-strength aluminum alloy Al6061-T6. For the cold-spray process, inexpensive Nitrogen was used as process-gas. Quasi-static tensile and highcycle- fatigue tests (HCF) were performed, focusing on in-situ shot peening to improve the mechanical properties of the repaired part. An improved adhesion between substrate and built-up material was identified as a key-factor for the applicability of the process. Under this respect laser-structuring of the substrate surface was applied and its effect on the mechanical performance of the restored samples were examined by adhesion tests. T2 - 9.

T1 - A four-point bending test apparatus for measurement- and model-based structural analysis N2 - By means of a small-scale truss bridge, the ability of the Measurement- and Model-based Structural Analysis to detect and localise damage was examined in. Although there was no noteworthy difficulty in detecting damage, it turned out that damage localisation responds sensitively to systematic influences, i.e. non-modelled properties of the mechanical model. Therefore, another experiment is being conducted to re-examine the Measurement- and Model-based Structural Analysis. For this purpose, the bending test is carried out as it has been already theoretically respectively numerically discussed in. In this attempt, the systematic influences such as residual stress are kept as low as possible.

T1 - Towards Autonomous NDT Inspection: Setup and Validation of an Indoor Localization System N2 - Monitoring and maintenance of civil infrastructure are of great importance, as any undetected damage can cause high repair costs, unintended deadtime, or endanger structural integrity. The inspection of large concrete structures such as bridges and parking lots is particularly challenging and time-consuming. Traditional methods are mostly manual and involve mapping a grid of measurement lines to record the position of each measurement. Current semi-automated methods, on the other hand, use GPS or tachymeters for localization but still require trained personnel to operate. An entirely automated approach using mobile robots would be more cost- and time-efficient. While there have been developments in using GPS-enabled mobile robots for bridge inspection, the weak signal strength in indoor areas poses a challenge for the automated inspection of structures such as parking lots. This paper aims to develop a solution for the automated inspection of large indoor concrete structures by addressing the problem of robot localization in indoor spaces and the automated measurement of concrete cover and rebar detection.

With the advent of wireless technologies and advancements in information and communication technologies, civil infrastructure has been increasingly instrumented with wireless sensor nodes to record, analyze, and communicate data relevant to SHM. A promising method for SHM is to embed sensors directly into concrete for recording SHM data from inside structural elements. In this paper, a sensor system for embedment into concrete is proposed, able to assess SHM data recorded from concrete. Power is supplied to the sensors on-demand by quadruped robots, which also collect the SHM data via radio-frequency identification (RFID), providing an automated and efficient SHM process. In laboratory experiments, the capability of the sensor system of automatically collecting the SHM data using quadruped robots is validated. In summary, the integration of RFID technology and robot-based inspection presented in this study demonstrates a vital approach to evolve current SHM practices towards more digitalized and automated SHM.

The current specifications for the chemical composition only provide manufacturers with upper limits. However, even minor deviations in the alloy concept can have a significant impact on the mechanical properties. Consequently, accurate prediction of weldability and the integrity of welded joints becomes difficult or even impossible due to differences in composition and the resulting microstructures. Undesirable consequences include a possible softening of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) or, conversely, hardening effects. In view of these challenges, various microalloying strategies with different Ti and Nb contents are being systematically investigated for the first time using specially developed laboratory casting alloys. Each alloying route is based on the common S690QL, maintaining both the chemical composition and the heat treatment parameters. To analyse the weldability, three-layer welds were performed using gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and critical microstructures, such as areas of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) that exhibit significant softening or hardening, were identified. The effect of the softened HAZ region on failure was evaluated using transverse tensile specimens. Digital image correlation (DIC) is used to image changes in local strains in different HAZ regions in situ. Using a specially developed mirror system, the local strains of the microstructure zones on the top and bottom of the weld are recorded simultaneously. This makes it possible to analyse how the weld seam geometry (e.g., V-seam) influences the strain gradients. In addition, the analysis of the local deformation helps to understand the effects of the softened HAZ on the global strain, the fracture constriction, the fracture position, and the overall fracture behavior T2 - The 77th IIW Annual Assembly and International Conference on Welding and Joining CY - Rhodos, Greece DA - 07.07.2024 KW - HSLA KW - Digital Image Correlation KW - Microalloy KW - GMAW KW - HAZ KW - Cross-weld tensile test PY - 2024 AN - OPUS4-60794 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER -
